Porter Phone (850) 717-5010 Freight Mobility and Trade Plan In recognition of the significant role that freight mobility plays as an economic driver for the state, an Office of Freight, Logistics and Passenger Operations has been created at FDOT. This office has been tasked with meeting the requirements of legislation in Florida House Bill 599, as well as meeting national freight guidance offered in H.R. 4348, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). HB599 requires FDOT to lead the development of a plan to enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system across and between transportation modes throughout the state. For this reason, Florida is already on schedule to meet MAP- 21 guidelines and has become a leader in freight issues through its ongoing work in developing a Freight Mobility and Trade Plan.
